Grand Banks, Manhattan’s latest gin joint du jour, makes the case for it as a 142-foot fishing schooner that serves up oysters and spritzy summer cocktails. Docked at Pier 25 in Hudson River Park, the meticulous restored vessel also features a maritime museum in its berth.

The restoration of the boat is a rare feat in a New York that increasingly pretends to remember the neighborhood vitality that once stood where the glossy hand-poured espresso bar now does. In the museum space downstairs, the water slaps pleasantly at the ship and the lights are low for a small exhibition of artfully organized ropes and maps. Also notable: this is the ritziest boat restroom you’ll ever see, tiled with white ceramic that glistens like freshwater pearls, and toilets made of chevron wood.

Pace Gallery presents the first U.S. exhibition of teamLab—the Japanese collaborative of digital artists who explore the difference between Western depictions of space, which emphasize a linear perspective, and the traditionally flat planes of depth that characterize Japanese art. Below, see a preview of Ever Blossoming Life – Gold, in which a Japanese screen appears to bloom into existence.

That Slap Chop may be valuable, after all! This exhibition will see the V&A bring objects of the moment—a 3-D-printed gun, for example, or a cache of Christian Louboutins in an array of “nude”—into its collection with a speed that is decidedly modern to provoke discussions on globalization, popular culture, and social change.

This mostly free celebration of dance, music, and theater winds its way through the streets of Paris through the end of August. This year’s program includes a South-African street-dance troupe that takes cues from Broadway, new music from pioneering electronica octogenarian Pierre Henry, and a French-Japanese production with the elusive title “Religious strawberry.”

As Little Edie infamously confessed in the opening moments of Grey Gardens, “Mother wanted me to come out in a kimono, so we had quite a fight.” This collection of kimonos—some inspired by Art Deco and Surrealism, others borrowing from 18th-century Japanese woodblock prints—may help you see Big Edie’s side of things.
